Many of us will likely be waiting for years for fibre to reach our suburbs, but we won't be forced into cowering helplessly while our peers flaunt their massive download speeds on Australia's new fibre infrastructure. Surprisingly, that's thanks to Telstra Bigpond - a phrase not often spoken. Melbournites have had access to Telstra's 100Mbps "Ultimate Cable" service since March, but as of December all other cable-connected capitals will be able to jump aboard the service as well.

I've been running two virtual machines acting as proxies on my HTPC, each connected to a VPN (US/UK), and running individual programs and web pages through the relevant proxy on my laptop, desktop etc. Awesomely, OverDrive has found an infinitely easier way to watch international content, at a fraction...

Another big title, and another big kick in the pants for Aussie gamers. Crysis 2 has just been made available for pre-purchase on Steam. Our price down-under is AUD $70, while those in the UK can snap it up for just 30 pounds - that's AUD $48.
